The company reported revenue growth of 5% year-over-year to $10.559 billion and +9% organically, missing the consensus of $10.78 billion.

The company achieved orders totaling $13.2 billion, reflecting a 22% organic increase, ~1.3 times revenue, driven primarily by Power and Electrification equipment.

Earnings per share for the quarter were $1.73, compared to $0.72 a year ago, missing the consensus of $2.55.

Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 440 bps to 10.2% and by 440 bps to 10.6% on an organic basis, with Adjusted EBITDA of $1.08 billion (+85% YoY).

Wind revenue was $3.109 billion (+20% YoY), and Orders reached $2.031 billion (-41% YoY). Segment EBITDA turned modestly profitable with a 0.6% margin, up 1,180 basis points, driven by Onshore Wind’s best quarter in three years and reduced Offshore Wind losses.

Electrification revenue was $2.181 billion (+11% YoY). Orders gained 118% YoY to $4.786 billion, driven by higher demand for grid equipment and services. Segment EBITDA margin rose to 13%, up 500 basis points organically.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, GEV authorized a $6 billion share repurchase, buying 8,000 shares in December 2024.
